TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Aims & Objectives
The advancement of the Christian faith for the benefit of the public. This includes, but not exclusively, preaching, teaching and education; to provide care and support to those facing need, hardship, or distress.
Main activities for achieving objectives
-
Christian services and meetings
-
Community events
-
Special ministry to those in need
-
Children, youth, and family support
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
With the removal of all further restrictions imposed upon the charity due to COVID-19 we were able to resume ‘normal’ activities of the charity.
During the year the congregation held several outreaches in Fakenham town centre as planned. We also supported this with continued advertising in the local press.
During COVID-19 streaming our services online proved beneficial in the support of the congregation and also as a tool for outreach. We decided that it would be an effective tool to continue to stream services and so our existing camera was replaced with 3 livestream cameras and the installation of a broadband line which now provide a feed to our Facebook page each Sunday. This has proved popular with members of the congregation unable to attend services and has also enabled new people to see the church services before attending in person.
Church attendance has increased during the period with a number of new members added. The focus on a set regular program of activities has provided a platform for spiritual development and pastoral support of individuals.
From a financial perspective weekly/monthly giving has largely remained unchanged on the previous year but recorded last year was a large amount of income due to the funds raised for the building move.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
For the year ending 31 December 2021, the Charity has reserves totalling £14,747. A certain amount of working capital is kept in the current account for meeting regular financial commitments.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
